I had my belly pierced last year and it can realy hurt when you have catched it, espesualy a fresh piercing, basicly what i did was fold up some tissue paper make sure that it is big enough to cover your belly button.
Then you will need a roll of plasters, you can get this from any chemist. you then stick the tissue paper over the belly piercing and stick it on with the tape.
Hope this works

A new piercing and you want to dive on it? Yes it will hurt the piercing.
I have both my lip and belly button pierced. I had my belly button pierced with a hoop and my lip pierced with a bar/stud. The belly button was more irritating then the lip because a hoop piercing requires the piercer to clamp it shut and fiddle around with a new pierced part instead of just screwing a ball on. I recommend any new piercings to be with a bar/stud as it is quicker and less irritating. Put it this way, I'm going for a 2nd lip piercing and not another belly button piercing ;)
No, do not remove the jewelry at all. It can be difficult to get the jewelry back in a new piercing, plus you could cause a rip or tear in the piercing site if you try and have trouble with it.
Yeah it doesnt matter but it can pull if you lie on your stomach.
You are typically advised to refrain from swimming for six weeks. Pools can harbor a lot of nasty bacteria that make your new piercing at risk of infection.
You have to be 18 in NJ to get any piercing. If you're not 18 and live close to New York City, go to Greenwich Village. A lot of piercing places there don't check for ID.
getting in a hot tub would not hurt a new belly button piercing, but your not supposed to. you should wait at least 6weeks after you got the piercing to sit in water. (I know this because i have ma belly button pierced. i have it pierced all around =)..) Anyway, i suggest you put a water proof band-aid over it or tape or something to cover it up b4 you get in the hot tub.
Yes It's an indication that the piercing is healing, just stay on top of your aftercare and you will end up with a great piercing.
Yep. Most jewelry isn't magnetic if thats what you're worried about. Some coasters have restraints that could hit or rub against the piercing so that might irritate it but other than that, you'll be fine :)
Hydrogen Peroxide generated oxygen when it bubbles, this can damage the new tissue your body is trying to form to make up the piercing. There is no need to use this or alcohol on any piercing. Simply rinsing the piercing daily in the shower under warm running water and moving the jewellery while doing so is plenty to ensure the piercing is clean and healthy.
Pus indicates an infection. Go see your doctor right away.
